Having a sushi craving? Then Nakato Japanese Steakhouse has the perfect sushi roll waiting for you. Sushi is a popular food that originated in Japan and has been exported to Western countries like the U.S. It used to be that sushi was only enjoyed by sophisticated foodies. Times have changed and now many people that eat all sorts of food have included sushi as part of their regular dining experience.

Even with its strong popularity, many people have never tasted this wonderfully delicate food. Some are turned off by the idea of eating raw fish. Be assured that sushi is commonly eaten by millions of people everyday, including children. The fish used to prepare sushi is always fresh and prepared with the utmost in professional skill. It is said that sushi is an acquired taste. That’s true.

Those who try it and like it always find themselves wanting more.

Everyone should try a sushi roll at least once. It is one of the healthiest foods found on the restaurant menu. The average plate of sushi contains around 300 to 450 calories.
